Benue State University General Cut-Off Mark for 2025/2026

The official Benue State University cut-off mark for UTME candidates in the 2025/2026 admission cycle is set at 150. This means you must score at least 150 on your JAMB UTME to be considered eligible for admission into most undergraduate programs. However, some competitive departments require higher cut-off marks due to demand and academic standards. For example, medicine, law, nursing, pharmacy, and medical laboratory science require scores ranging from 200 to 220 to qualify for admission screening.

Meeting the general cut-off mark is the first step, but you should always check your specific course’s cut-off mark to confirm eligibility. This ensures you are applying with confidence and reduces the risk of disqualification during screening.
